    The problem with the flake.org docs is just that the last five or six lines
    are missing off the compile verb.

    If you go to an old version of the db (or a virgin core), locate that verb
    code, and you'll see the part that's missing -- it's the very end of the
    verb, with the parts about confirming the compile.

    Add that to the flake.org code (I think you have to overwrite the final
    'endif' with the missing stuff) and it works fine.
